Apparently because it doesn't work or because the cable co. said
they're blocking it?
You can use "nmap" to determine if bits on ports 137-9 are filtered
between the hosts (or call the cable co and ask, but the support folks
probably won't understand...)
Just on the winblows side of things:
you are maping the drive (or trying to) by hand
\\cable.host.ip.num\file-system not relying on network neighborhood
which is well um, S*(T.
You have NetBIOS over TCP enabled on the Window$ box.
The share name in samba.conf must be under some # of characters to
work (12 or 14), it took me three weeks to findout why I could use 3
out of 4 exports.
That's all my thoughts for now.
I feel your pain,
